“One thing I know is that this is genre; and playing around with the thriller, horror, action, fun genre of intrigue is my favorite,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “That's my sweet spot. So I think tonally it should resemble Get Out. That said, I want to make a completely different movie. I want to address something different than race in the next one.”

There aren’t many details about the upcoming film’s storyline; however, sources told Variety that Lupita Nyong’o and Elisabeth Moss are in talks for the leading roles. Winston Duke (Black Panther) is also rumored to join the cast.

Peel will also produce Us via his company, Monkeypaw Productions. Sean McKittrick, Jason Blum, and Ian Cooper will co-produce.

POST CONTINUES BELOW

You can check out the film’s movie poster below. Us is expected to hit theaters March 15, 2019.

For Complex News, I’m Frazier, and if you’ve been waiting for Jordan Peele’s follow-up to the surprise blockbuster hit Get Out, you won’t have that long to wait.

On Tuesday Night, Peele tweeted out a poster for his second feature, Us, which will hit theaters in March of 2019. This will be the first project Peele released by Universal Pictures, who signed him to a first-look deal shortly after Get Out broke records at the box office.

Currently, there’s no word on what the plot of this film is, but the poster does call it “a new nightmare” from the man who won an Academy Award for Get Out’s original screenplay. It should definitely be a horror film, based on what Peele told The Hollywood Reporter about his next feature back in February.

There’s also no solid information on the plot, but according to Variety, Black Panther’s Lupita Nyong’o is rumored to be starring in the project, which might also feature Elisabeth Moss, star of The Handmaid’s Tale, and another Black Panther alumni, Winston Duke.

With so much on his plate, from producing Tracy Morgan’s TBS series ‘The Last O.G.’ to Spike Lee’s next film ‘Black Klansman,’ Peele’s definitely got his work cut out for him. Judging by the overwhelming success of his debut feature, though, we have no doubt he’ll knock ‘Us’ out the park.

See what I did there? Anyways, for Complex News, I’m Frazier; for more on Jordan Peele’s moves, keep it locked right here to Complex on YouTube.
